I remove the skin from the apples then chop them up in food processor and layer this on top of the peanut butter -which makes it edible and easily digested for even the youngest kids -love my PB& A sandwiches :-)

my favorite is PB and onion. It is yummy! Altho I have to admit I put onions in just about everything. My husband says the only thing I haven’t put onions in is my ice cream, and he is sure one day that I will try that too.

I am not a fan of peanut butter (sacrilege I know) but I love apples on sandwiches. They add just the right amount of crunch and sweet/tang to it. My favorite is an ABC sandwich, Apple, bacon and cheese. This is a grilled sandwich so the cheese gets all melty and delicious. I usually use a provolone but really any cheese will work. With the sweetness of the apple and the smokiness of the bacon. So Soo Good!

Great video! I thought I had tried PB with everything, but am going to compile a list from the comments section. I had never thought to try peaches, and that has got to be great. And nobody posted this: PB with pineapple. This is a good sandwich, made better with some Duke’s mayo on the other slice of bread…

Alden is a precious young cook. Wait till she gets some more experience! Move over Elise. She’ll have your job before you know it.

I have never heard of an Apple Peanut Butter sandwich before.

When I was young, my mother made us Banana Peanut Butter sandwiches. Mash an over ripe banana (the riper the better without being so black and squishy that it is rotten), mix in the peanut butter (chunky or smooth) and spread a thick layer on a slice of bread. Top with another slice of bread. Yum yum!

When I was grown, my mother’s friend introduced us to another kind of peanut butter sandwich – Peanut Butter and Dill Pickle with Miracle Whip. Spread one slice of bread with the Miracle Whip and another with peanut butter. Cover one slice with dill pickle slices (or Vlasic Kosher Dill Pickle Stackers) and top with the other slice of bread. Sounds terrible, but wait till you taste it.

A star is born!! I have never had the pleasure of this combo either. I shall try it with granny smith apples cause that’s what on my counter. Toasted good wheat bread and creamy PB……………..sounds good to me, thanks.

Great video!! Here’s one I bet you say yuck to unless you try it. Peanut Butter, Crisp Sweet Pickles (Homemade is best) and Mayo. I got this from my father and have eaten it all my life and I am 61. The last guy I shared this with laughed at me until I got him to try a bite. The last time I saw his wife she said he had eaten every sweet pickle in the house! Enjoy..I dare you.

My son is 19 and we have eaten apples and peanut butter since he was 2. I have also made them into sandwiches, but I like adding a slice of American Cheese as well. It is so yummy and contains foods from almost all the food groups. If you like trying new things… try peanut butter and raisin sandwiches. They are real good too (don’t be shy with the raisins).

I have a peanut butter and banana sandwich almost everyday! I use high fiber, low fat bread and it fills me up for hours! I will have to add this great variation to my repertoire! Alden looks like a super chef in the making, just following in your footsteps, how fun!

I’ve done the sectioned, cored apple with honey roasted peanut butter and sunflower seeds for years. Used to eat pb and mayo sandwiches as a kid. But now a days my favorite guilty breakfast is peanut butter and bacon on a toasted whole wheat bagel. Thomas brand preferred.

What a cutie Alden is. I’m with you Elise, I’ve never had PB&A before but will try it now. Hubby is a PB addict & loves to make PB&HD sandwiches–that’s peanut butter & hot dog sandwiches. He boils the hot dogs until hot, cuts them in half lengthwise & then lays them on top of peanut buttered bread. Then he adds his secret ingredient which is a generous sprinkling of cayenne, then tops it with another slice of peanut buttered bread. I use to laugh at him until I finally broke down & tried it–surprisingly yummy–think Thai-style PB&HD sandwich!

Very good video, Alden. You spoke clearly, without hesitation and not too fast. Maybe you should start your own food blog, with video aids, (maybe as a school project? Maybe with Elise’s help?) to instruct people around your age about how to prepare healthier foods for themselves. Mom can’t always take the time to do it, so it’d be helpful for everyone in any family. Make it your voice online!. I love peanut butter and apple together. The combination has almost a caramel-apple flavor. So delicious.

In our house, we’ve made these with almond butter (superior to PB IMO for both flavor and nutrition) and cinnamon-dusted apple slices.

The cinnamon dusting isn’t just for flavor, either. I discovered that dusting apple slices with ground cinnamon eliminated my son’s objection to “brown” apple (while I love to prepare my son’s lunch for school, I’ll admit I am too lazy to make a lemon juice bath for the apple slices to prevent them from browning).

I do a version of a peanut butter and apple sandwich that isn’t as healthy but is very, very tasty. It includes 2 slices of whole wheat bread smeared with peanut butter, thinly sliced apples layered over the peanut butter, a few slices of crisp bacon, a drizzle of honey over all and topped with alfalfa sprouts. I know it sounds weird but the combination of flavors is terrific!

I love PB & A, and Apple and cheese sandwiches. Peanut butter and DILL PICKLES also make a surprisingly excellent sandwich! The juicy tang of the pickle with the sweet/saltiness of the peanut butter are a whole new addicting flavor.

The best breakfast sandwich in the world is pb & fried egg on toasted english muffin. The peanut butter melts on the egg and into the crevices of the muffin, while providing a perfect foil of sweet saltiness. Sounds gross. Tastes divine.

It’s time to “kick it up a notch” by grilling the sandwich. You can do it two ways (1) butter both sides and brown each side in a pan (2) Dip both sides in a mixture of one egg beat with about 1/2 cup milk (like French Toast but don’t dip it too long). Brown in butter on each side.

I make mine just the same way you do, with one exception – I always cut my sandwich on the diagonal : ) I like this so much more than PB&J (too gummy! too sweet!). The apple gives the sandwich just the right crunch to offset the peanut butter. This is the sandwich I take with me on a hike because it’s so filling and healthy.

PB&A, a classic! And this may sound crazy, but cheese and peanut butter is really delicious too. I like extra old cheddar, but any kind will do i’d say. Also, try brie cheese and apple with a sprinkle of cinnamon for another tasty sandwich!

I think mayonnaise on the second slice of bread would be great with this, too. A friend taught me this a bazillion years ago and MADE me try it. PB, mayo, and lettuce… YUM. I’m thinking replacing the lettuce with crunchy apples would be awesome!

Love the video – she will be a star! I’ve eaten PB &A for breakfast since I was in school (waaay back in the day). I put the peanut butter on both sides of bread and also sprinkle a bit of wheat germ on top of peanut butter before I add apples. Love this!

An excellent video — Miss Alden has grace and presence, and a clearer and more pleasant voice than half the instructional video posters on the web today. I would like to seek her expert opinion on adding a sprinkle of apple pie spice blend, mixed with a bit of brown sugar, over the apples.
